Abstract

The invention provides a multilayer laminated film with alternately laminated birefringent and isotropic layers. The birefringent layers have a first monotonically increasing region of optical thickness and contain monotonically increasing region 1A of maximum optical thickness is 100 nm or less, and monotonically increasing region 1B of minimum optical thickness of more than 100 nm, and ratio 1B/1A of slope 1B of monotonically increasing region 1B to slope 1A of monotonically increasing region 1A is 0.8 or more and less than 1.5. The isotropic layers have a second monotonically increasing region of optical thickness and contain monotonically increasing region 2A of maximum optical thickness of 200 nm or less and monotonically increasing region 2B of minimum optical thickness of more than 200 nm, and ratio 2B/2A of slope 2B of monotonically increasing region 2B to slope 2A of monotonically increasing region 2A is more than 1.5 and less than 5.
